Press Release, May 21, 2025 – Harmonie Construction announces the launch of the Altera multi-generational series, a range of multi-generational homes designed for families seeking harmonious intergenerational cohabitation adapted to current realities. With this initiative, the company aims to establish itself as the benchmark in multi-generational housing in Quebec by offering unique expertise to families wishing to undertake this type of project.
A Rapidly Growing Visionary Company
Founded by Maxime Thérien and Maurice Dagenais, Harmonie Construction has established itself in just four years as a key player in high-end, custom residential construction. Its expertise in multi-generational housing now allows it to provide a concrete response to a growing market need. With its innovation-centric approach and rigorous support, the company has carved out an enviable position and reputation in the sector.
A unique vision of multi-generational living
The Altera multi-generational series was developed with the aim of meeting the complex needs of cohabitation between two generations under one roof. Harmonie Construction understands that this type of housing requires much more than a simple architectural adaptation.
Personalized Support throughout the Process
Unlike the traditional market approach, Harmonie Construction focuses on comprehensive support to ensure the success of each project. The company ensures that all involved parties, especially the different generations concerned, are integrated early in the process to prevent potential friction points from the outset.
Each project is accompanied by rigorous monitoring, preparatory meetings, and careful coordination to ensure a smooth transition. Harmonie Construction has partnered with organizations that offer financing solutions adapted to the multi-generational reality, where the different contributions of family members are taken into account to ensure optimal financial balance.
An Architectural Concept Adapted to all Families
The Altera multi-generational series includes several models designed to adapt to the varied needs of families. The Origine, Évolution, and Horizon models offer flexible configurations allowing for a fair balance between privacy and shared spaces.
The architecture of the Altera models was developed in collaboration with the architectural firm Lemay – Michaud, ensuring a functional design adapted to natural terrains.
A Response to a Growing Demand
In recent years, the demand for multi-generational housing has exploded, due to the rising cost of living, the aging population, and a growing desire to bring generations closer. A significant portion of inquiries addressed to Harmonie Construction concerns intergenerational housing projects, representing approximately 35% of information requests.
Harmonie Construction, with its expertise in custom construction, supports its clients to ensure the success of their project and create a sustainable and harmonious living environment.
A Positive Economic Impact and an Expanding Company
By addressing a growing need, Harmonie Construction contributes to local economic dynamism by creating jobs and strengthening innovation in the real estate sector. Its custom approach and expertise in intergenerational projects allow it to stand out in a rapidly evolving market.
A Unique Information Platform on Multi-Generational Living
To help families better understand the realities of a multi-generational project, Harmonie Construction has launched a dedicated microsite: www.alterabigeneration.ca. This website gathers key resources, testimonials, and models with typologies that adapt to every lifestyle.
Harmonie Construction, a Commitment to Innovation and Quality
With the Altera multi-generational series, Harmonie Construction reaffirms its commitment to educating, supporting, and innovating in the field of single-family and intergenerational housing. Its personalized, client-centric approach makes it a key leader in the market.
Quote: “The idea behind custom multi-generational housing is truly to create a balance between family proximity and privacy. Hence the name of our Altera series, which is derived from the Latin word ‘alter’, meaning ‘the other’ in French, symbolizing the complementarity of generations cohabiting under the same roof while maintaining their own identity. The entire team worked very hard on this series and the experience surrounding it. We look forward to people starting to live the Altera multi-generational experience.”
